I just watched it earlier today. Am a huge fan of Fury Road and consider it one of the top 3 action movies to come out in the last 20 years. Rated it a 9/10
Thought this movie would be underwhelming due to the subpar reviews, but to my pleasant surprise, found it really good. While it doesn't have non-stop action like FR, it still has them scenes in spades and was more balanced with the world building and the origin story. The main characters are also a lot more fleshed out, and the 3 primary locations were well designed. One of the things I really liked about this movie was that the female empowerment theme was done without any nauseating, misandrist dialogue or condescending lecturing unnecessarily shoe horned in, as has almost become the norm of late.
Anya TJ and CH both did a great job and the former was as good as Furiosa, if not better, than Charlize Theron IMO. This movie is proof that men don't dislike strong female characters as long as they aren't man-hating or disrespectful, insufferable feminists and I hope there will be more of this in the future. Rate it an easy 8.5/10
